Forgive the daytime-television-themed headline there … I'm unemployed this week, and, try as I might, I can't turn off the train-wreck that is daytime programming. Don't worry, I start a new job Monday (unless, that is, you want to make me a better offer :P). Anywho, if you're looking for something that will add some functionality to the very basic interface of the Palm OS, or you're looking for something that will jazz up the look of it, you should take a look at Facer. It does both, giving you a skinnable interface (like LauncherX and the like) and adding a Today Screen like the one on Pocket PCs. Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, you can check out a full review of Facer 1.9 from PocketCraft at BargainPDA! PocketCraft offers full support for Palm OS 4 and 5, high-res screens, and even the extra screenery on the Tungsten T3!

Isn't that nice…(5:28pm EST Tue Nov 25 2003)They want to make thier Plam look like a MS pocketPC. Maybe they should have got a PPC in the first place! I know I like mine a heck of a lot better than a Palm. – by LoveMyPPC

Palm-Job (9:15pm EST Tue Nov 25 2003)PocketCraft? PocketPC? Is that a new version of Pocketpool? Yeah baby Jazz up that palm!!!!!! – by Squirt

PPC(5:00pm EST Wed Nov 26 2003)God it will be great when Palm is dead and i can give all of my tech money to Bill!!! And the best is that we will finally ONLY be able to get 400mhz xscale devices running an os that makes it feel like it 50mhz! No – seriously. I love microsofts understanding of the PDA space and how they knew that users really wanted to have 6 clicks to shut down an app! Thats right – we dont have intuitive mouse and keyboard with our PDAs – so they should obviously make the interface even more complex than the bloated desktop code on which – for some reason – the handheld OS is based! Obviously PPC is MORE advanced and is for SERIOUS users – why look how much it acts like my BIG, SERIOUS, desktop at work!

Free Themes for Facer(7:20pm EST Sat Dec 20 2003)Agree, Palm looked a bit dull before Facer came along. Let's not get into that whole PPC vs Palm argument again. Some people do like Palm.

If you have Palm OS and want to try Facer, you can download heaps of skins for free and join a helpful community at
